Deaths are higher in emergency rooms of hospitals owned by private equity firms, per Harvard University.

They did the math: It’s cheaper to let you die than save you with a procedure you can’t afford.

This is what happens when its profits over people.

US Dollar purchasing power since 1950:

1950: $1
1975: $0.55
2000: $0.14
2025: $0.07

Do you realize what’s happening?

This is insane…

US Dollar share of global reserve currency has fallen to its lowest levels this century.

It’s literally unprecedented.

Unpopular opinion: Take your days off work. These jobs don't care about you.

If you died tomorrow, your job opening would be posted faster than your obituary.

Use your PTO and never feel guilty about it.

There are currently no states in the US where a full-time worker earning minimum wage can afford a two-bedroom apartment, per the National Low Income Housing Coalition.

Percentage of Americans who are married and own homes by age 30:

1960: 52%
1970: 48%
1980: 45%
1990: 43%
2000: 35%
2010: 25%
2025: 12%

This is crazy.

Woman loses her home in fire. She asks insurance to rebuild the same home — no upgrades, no expansion.

Insurance says NO.

This is just theft. It should be illegal to do this.

The older I get, the more I realize:

A $100,000 BMW and a $40,000 Toyota will drive to the same place.

A $5 million mansion and a $500,000 home will give the same sleep.

A $100,000 Rolex and a $100 watch will show the same time.

Time freedom is the lifestyle most people miss trying to look rich.

BREAKING: Trump says the United States will now use Venezuela's Oil reserves to sell “large amounts of Oil to other countries” after capturing Nicolás Maduro.

“We’re in the Oil business.”

I’m not a conspiracy theorist but Venezuela has the largest oil reserves in the World.

Do you think this is about drugs or oil?

Someone just said it

The Federal Reserve just pumped $31.5 Billion into the Banking System. It’s the largest liquidity injection since Covid and higher than the the Dot Com Bubble.

I’m sure everything is fine.

If the Pentagon can fail its 8th audit in a row, unable to fully account for $4.65 trillion in assets, then We the People are paying WAY too much in taxes.

Silver prices soar above $70/oz for the first time in history, now up +144% YTD.

When the price of silver doubles this quickly, it’s rarely a good sign. It almost always means people have lost faith in their leaders and money.

This happened right before the Fall of Rome, during the French Revolution, and when the Spanish Empire collapsed.

It triggers a massive transfer of wealth: the poor get left behind with worthless paper money and the rich protect themselves with gold and silver.

The Average American Now Has:

2. Record $22,612 in auto loan debt

3. Record $58,957 in student loan debt

4. Record $241,840 in mortgage debt

We’re fighting inflation with debt. This won’t end well.

And the average cost of healthcare per person has gone from $350 to $14,600, an increase of 42x.

My hospital bill went from $3,000 to $700 all because I asked for an itemized receipt and list of everything I was being charged for, and they lowered my bill by 77%.

Our health care system is a SCAM.

Dear hiring managers,

Entry-level jobs are not entry-level if they require 3-5 years of experience.

3-5 years experience = Manager
5-7 years experience = Senior Manager
8-10 years experience = Director
10+ years experience = VP

If you post an entry-level job, you should require 0 years of experience.

If you require experience, you need to pay more than entry-level pay.
